Too bad it's Windows only, it looks quite nice and I'd like to try it.

Sorry about that yodamaster, one of the downsides of using Dark Basic. :/
For those who can play it: Note that it's possible that some of the dialogues don't quite work as expected. Considering this is how I created them: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13847228/frankie_dialogue.png (and there are about 10 of similar complexity). However, I went through the game multiple times without problems, so I hope it works out for you as well.. :)
Well done, dude. The first runs was over pretty fast because I'm an atheist but now I know better ;)
Nice idea to disguise as a person everyone knows. This way you know exactly what to do, when you get stuck.
I liked it, so have a good rating ;)
Very cool game! Unfortunately I managed to grapple out of the level in the underworld at one point, and couldn't get back. Had a lot of fun however, the dialogs were very entertaining. Also don't use Alt as a button please, as it kept getting a context menu out together with spacebar. Great job!
Haha those dialogs options are hilarous! :D
Great game too, though it was not very clear the first time that red tiles were lava...
@Donar you have been warned! :P
@hungyg How did you do that? Where? Didn't even know that was possible.. :D Sorry about the Alt thing, didn't know that could be a problem. Guess I'll upload a post-comp version at some point with X as grapple button.
Thanks for all the feedback!
Been a while since I saw DarkBasic getting some use! Interesting and humourous game! :D
Excellent game. Great music, really funny dialogues. Though, I got stuck in the Underworld, behind a large wall of gravel (that kind of wall you can't use grappling hook on). Praying haven't helped. I think I wasn't supposed to go there.
Nice length, didn't finish it though, got stuck using the grapple, quite hard to control (plus, with the controls, I either open the file menu or turn on sticky keys :/ that's jump and grapple). I feel the background makes the art look quite poor, if you kept the same style, would've looked a lot better. Good job though!
Yey! I'm on my way to HELL! Yipiee! Free beer! ... not to sure about the religious content. I just stuck to the dark skinned guy at the beginning, smoking hell herbs and talking about girls... guess I belong in hell then. =) ... other than the religious stuff it was all functional and playable good work and congratulations on finishing!
Yeah, sorry about the controls. I didn't think that far and it didn't cause any problems here. :|
For those of you who either can't play the game or weren't able to finish it, here's a complete walkthrough video of the game: http://youtu.be/zVFOd9icIp8 (at 6:00 I leave hell, at 12:00 I get the hook)
I'd still recommend playing it - if you can - as the dialogue options can indeed make a bit of a difference (you don't necessarily have to turn the lake into wine, for instance, you can also convince the guy otherwise to just give you the hook). On the other hand, it's less focused on gameplay than the whole "journey" which you can watch as spectactor just as well. So I guess that's up to you. :)
The enhanced version is now online. Controls are fixed, so is the problem of getting stuck at dead ends (you can respawn at the last checkpoint now manually, which hopefully solves this issue). Furthermore the game saves your progress, so no need to play through in a single session.
Fun little game, got me hooked til the end.I think I played enhanced version and have some glitch that made water, lava and the main character invisible and visible each step...but it was fully playable. Nice entry!!
Realy nice entry! I had lots of fun with Frankie and his quest. Very original idea and execution, the graphics could be more polished but sound and gameplay are very well done.
I'm never pirating a game ever again xo
The introduction was nice but a bit slow. I love the music, makes unique atmosphere! The graphics are nice though the player could be viewed from the same angle as the cubes rather than being flat 2d image.
Nice little game! Good entry.
